How to deal with recurring nightfalls?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am experiencing nightfalls frequently, sometimes even daily. Because of this, my body has become very weak, and I am facing physical and mental health issues. I have been struggling with this problem for the last two years, and over the past couple of months, it has worsened significantly.

Kindly suggest.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concerns regarding your symptoms.

Wet dreams, or nightfall, medically known as nocturnal emission, are entirely normal. They usually occur due to increased erotic stimulation, mentally, physically, or visually, in the absence of sex or masturbation.

At your age, your body produces high levels of testosterone, leading to the production of approximately 20,000 sperm every minute, which results in significant semen production. If you do not release it through masturbation or sex, your body naturally releases it during deep relaxation, such as during sleep.

The good news is that managing the condition becomes easier once you understand the cause.

You can reduce the frequency of nightfall by:

  1. Limiting exposure to erotic stimuli or releasing the buildup through masturbation or sex.
  2. Avoid consuming caffeinated beverages or foods after late afternoon, as caffeine can stimulate the brain and trigger erotic dreams.
  3. Take a cold shower before bedtime to reduce sensitivity in the genital area.
  4. Manage stress effectively. Stress is a known trigger for many issues, including sleep disturbances and erotic dreams. Aim for a calm, peaceful mind before sleep.
  5. Avoid sleeping on your back or stomach, as these positions can increase the likelihood of sleep orgasms. Sleeping on your side is preferable.
  6. Exercise regularly to keep both your body and mind relaxed. Excessive stress, anxiety, or physical exhaustion can increase the chances of nocturnal emissions.
  7. For a temporary solution, you can take a tablet of Paroxetine 10 mg once daily at night for 15 days. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss the situation with them, and take the medicine with their consent.

I hope this answers your query.

Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any further questions.
